The Wireless Westsail

IMG_2170.JPG
This beautiful 1976 Westsail had been taken care of quite well by its previous owner, but her current owner is taking this boat to a whole new level. Southbound and Colligo Marine helped to replace all of the steel rigging with Dynex Dux. We took over 100lbs out of the rigging aloft. Imagine what that does to the sailing characteristics of this little boat!

We are currnetly working on serving the rigging to give it a "saltier" look and help with chafe.

Titanium mast tangs were custom made by Colligo to fit the Dux Terminators and save additional weight. Also, titanium does not corrode!

All of the stainless hardware was powder coated and the halyards were internalized. We replaced the sheaves with custom Delrin units. The owner, made use of the down time in our shop to paint the spar with Awl-Grip paint. It looks great!
